What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central California during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
